Welcome to CWG's new Weather Wall! ... the ultimate overview of current conditions in D.C., Maryland and Virginia. This is your place to track radar, temperatures, clouds, and the latest webcam view of D.C. all on one page. You can find a link to the Weather Wall on our left sidebar, inside the Current Conditions box.

Also, please use the comments section below to tell us what else you might like to see on our Weather Wall.

See our full forecast through the weekend, and NatCast if you're headed to tonight's game at Nationals Park.

Yes!! That is a nice idea and much needed for those of us who struggle to find the right radar to look at. My only wish (completely out of CWG's control) is that 25% of the screen's width wasn't taken up by a Roomstore ad. It just looks so cheap when the WaPo plasters huge ads on the pages. Oh well. I can't wait to visit the Weather Wall when we have a rain/snow event. Great job!

ShawnDC -- We'll think about the placement. But also, eventually we'll probably integrate the link into our radar/webcam/temp map captions (when we run versions of those graphics on the main page of the blog), so eventually there should be plenty of spots where you'll see the link.

Just wondering...what's that orange line running across NW Virginia on the current weather map? Is it some sort of airmass trough which could provoke an unexpected shower this afternoon?

Otherwise, I'm wondering when we can start seriously thinking of the forecast for this winter. Preliminary and "final" extended forecast discussions seem to keep regenerating major troughs over the western U.S. and, if this keeps happening into the meterological winter, we could be in for another boringly mild, dry winter while Aspen and Snowmass get all the snow! This is due to the fact that when the West gets all the troughs, we seem to be left with the ridges! Latest predicted reads on the NAO and PNA seem to be confirming this since everything's tending to come up neutral/positive, especially for the NAO. Come on, where's that nice, snow-provoking negative NAO we want to get for Christmas???

I am a fan of weather.com local radar as its a mash up with Google maps that allows you to look at radar down to your local neighborhood/street. The radar view provided on the wall doesn't provide that and would recommend that be switched out.
